ZNR was a non-group project founded by the late great french composer Hector Zazou and songwriter Joseph Racaille as main members. They recorded two very strange post-prog rock, satiesque kinda dada miniatures chamber music albums: Barricade 3 & Traité de la Mécanique Populaire, at the end of the seventies. This song Garden Party belongs to the second one. Both records were released in vinyl and re-released in CD by Recommended Records. http://www.rermegacorp.com/
The footage is an excerpt from the 1968 film Le Revelateur by Phillipe Garrel.
Stunning.. Etienne (JR) struggled gamely for ages to get me to learn 1 piece he had written for Barricade.. I think I got it..Not really a R & B fan , though Pierre (HZ) was..Fiercely Anti American at that time..except for Beefheart..had to reclaim a Frenchness (?).. Good on 'em..The pieces are not Strange AT ALL... Robert Wyatt is not strange..He too is STUNNING and priceless.. CW
